Nursing Students Who are Veterans
Helping Veterans Become Nurses Initiative
Description: Helping Veterans Become Nurses Initiative helps veterans make the transition from military service to nursing school. HRSA has established a partnership with the Army, Navy, and Air Force and is working to align accreditation requirements for nursing programs with enlisted medical training so medics and corpsmen can receive academic credit for their military health care service.
Jonas Veterans Healthcare Program
Description: Through the Jonas Center for Nursing Excellence Initiative the Jonas Center will support scholarships for 54 nurses to be trained at the doctoral level (PhD and DNP) on veteran-specific healthcare needs, ranging from clinical to policy to administration to education, to help ensure our veterans are receiving the best possible care.
Student Veterans Of America (SVA)
Description: This is a coalition of student veterans groups on college campuses across the globe. These member chapters are the "boots on the ground” that help veterans reintegrate into campus life and succeed academically. Each chapter must be an officially recognized student group by their university or college and provide a peer-to-peer network for veterans who are attending the school. Additionally, chapters often coordinate campus activities, provide pre-professional networking, and generally provide a touchstone for student veterans in higher education.
Toolkit for Veteran Friendly Institutions
Description: Created by the American Council on Education (ACE), this online resource is designed to help institutions of higher education build effective programs for veteran students and share information. It highlights a variety of best practices and includes video clips, profiles of student veteran programs across the U.S., and a searchable database of tools and resources.
